“There are specific elements involved in attachment parenting, including feeding, I breastfed for as long as I could because it’s the optimal way to satisfy the child’s needs. I always follow cues from the kids and they can stop when they’re full.”

Anita says she gives her young children a “nurturing touch all of the time”.

She added: “I used to carry them in a wrap every day but now they’re older they don’t need it as often.

“But if they’re sick I will do it, especially when they need to regulate their emotions – if they’re mad or hurt or so on.

“I ensure they sleep safely, both physically and emotionally by co-sleeping. Children have needs at night just as they do during the day.
